Chapter 270: Scarlet Castle
This winter polo match ended smoothly, and William, as the leader of the championship team, naturally had a light on his face.
But at the same time, thousands of kilometers away from the kingdom of Tskema, a bloody massacre of riots is taking place.
The darkness shrouded the entire land, but this castle, which was still majestic, was now brightly lit, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Soldiers in black armor flowed through the alleys like the tide in the night, holding torches and swords in their hands, and the occasional guards in the alleys were also dealt with one by one.
The torches in their hands became the best weapon for arson, and many houses and infrastructure were ignited by the torches in their hands, which ignited a raging fire and made the environment in the castle even more chaotic.
Even the pedestrians on the road are not spared and become the ghosts of their hands.
The wind roared between the castle's buildings, whimpering and roaring at injustice from the soul of a wronged dead.
In this way, they walked like a raging tide on the corpses of the guards and pedestrians towards the main fort in the very center of the castle.
At this time, in the main fort, the guards had already reported the situation to the principal.
"Well, my God, Lord Merlin, what are we supposed to do now?"
A woman in a white dress asked anxiously to the old man sitting in a chair.
The old man's face was very old, but there was incomparable wisdom in his star-like eyes, as if the deep universe gave people a calm, unfathomable feeling.
He didn't reply immediately, but closed his eyes, wearing a simple white monk's robe, he seemed to have lost his breath of life at this moment, sitting firmly in place, not seeing any vital signs.
His behavior immediately made everyone in the room panic, and they looked helplessly at Lord Merlin, who had fallen into silence, hoping that he could give them an answer.
At this time, the outside of the main castle had completely fallen, and all the guards and knights were compressed into the main castle, and they could only guard the gate of the main castle with difficulty.
Outside, a large army of well-armoured and well-armed men was marching towards the main castle with blood-stained swords in their hands, stepping on the corpses of the castle's inhabitants and a large number of guards.
At this moment, on the main road leading to the main castle in the castle, a group of knights appeared who were heavily armed and well-equipped and seemed to be very well-trained.
They were dressed in red blouses and ornaments, and under the covers, they were the terrifying aura of the double composite chain mail.
Their heavy horned helmets were wrapped in a layer of locking ornaments, and although they were indistinct in the night, they were proud to be knights of the knightly kingdom of Astra.
The Knights of the Holy Grail have a long history and a glorious record, and they have been founded almost with the kingdom of Astra, and until now, there has not been a single defeat record.
Except for the two great knights of the empire and the ironclad cavalry of the Kingdom of Nilnia, no knight can match them.
At this time, there were quite a few Astra Holy Grail Knights who appeared here, about four hundred and fifty people, after all, the entire Holy Grail Knights were only more than 1,600 people, including the knights and apprentice knights.
On weekdays, they have to be used as a killer weapon to suppress the entire kingdom, and it is rare to dispatch more than five hundred people, but now it is a very large scale to be able to dispatch four hundred and fifty people.
At the very front of them, a dozen people rode slowly, and they could only move at the same pace as the dozen or so.
"Captain Robella, thank you very much for your help, there are even four hundred and fifty Holy Grail Knights, please rest assured, when I become the king of the Carmellot Kingdom, I will definitely look forward to you!"
A nobleman in equally ornate armor rode half a step behind the commander of Robella, took off his helmet, and with a very humble expression on his face, he lowered his tone and said respectfully.
"Excellent! Lord Vallar, you need to know why the Kingdom of Astra will help you, and you must also know who has done so much for you, even saying that the Holy Grail Knights and the Holy Grail Guardians will help you fight! ”
The head of the Robella regiment said to the people around him proudly, it seems that he also seems to have played a very big role in this matter.
"Yes, I will definitely not give you Captain Robella for your help, after this matter is over, I will definitely give you the most satisfactory thank you!"
The Duke of Vallar had a flattering smile on his face, and even though he was so tired of the man in front of him that he had to compromise and speak to him with the most humble attitude.
After all, this leader of Robella is the deputy head of the Holy Grail Knights of the Astra Kingdom, and he wants to have great power, and originally this time the Holy Grail Knights and the Holy Grail Guardians only planned to use one hundred and fifty people, and five hundred, regardless of success or failure.
But how could one hundred and fifty Knights of the Grail plus five hundred Guardians of the Grail be able to conquer the city of Carmellot, which was guarded by four hundred Knights of the Kingdom, two thousand five hundred elite armed infantry, and more than four hundred town guards?
Although Camelot is only a small country with a small strength, these strengths are still there, and it is absolutely not enough to rely on such a small number of troops.
Therefore, the Duke of Vallar spent 5,000 gold coins, that is, 50,000 silver coins and the price of thirty villages, to follow the path of this leader of Robella, which made the Knights of the Holy Grail have some more people on their side.
The number of dispatches has been increased to four hundred and fifty Grail Knights and three thousand Grail Guardians, which is already half of the military strength of the Astra royal family, a first-class power on the continent.
This is a country and royal family that is much stronger than the Kingdom of Cikma, a first-class power in the north of the continent, and Astra, the country of knights.
Tonight was destined to be sleepless, and the sound of fighting resounded throughout Camelot City, but no one dared to poke their heads out to spy on what was happening.
Even if there are children who are curious and want to take a sneak look, they are all slapped down by adults without exception, and then dragged to sleep in the bed, no matter how much they cry to no avail.
At this moment, the defenders of more than 2,000 people in Camelot City have lost more than half, and the guards in the main fort are only more than 600 armed infantry and more than 100 knights.
The Grail Guardians smelled of blood, their swords stained with blood, and their visors revealed only a pair of cruel eyes that were ruthless and showed no mercy.
They had finally cleared out all the guards and armed infantry in the castle, and now the only thing that was out of their control was the main fortress in front of them, which seemed to be very difficult to implement.
As the royal residence of the Carmellot Kingdom, the main castle of Carmellot is also relatively spacious, even if the entire Carmellot Kingdom is not as large as William's Denlenburgshire.
